This is the most popular, unique, and like nothing you will experience anywhere else on Maui. We are famously known for our exceptional guides, who take hosting to the next level. The connections our guides make with our guests and their genuine sincerity is always our number 1 compliment we hear from everyone. They each offer something special and are experts in the art of providing each guest the full VIP experience. We only hire the best and are proud of the outstanding notoriety we’ve gained through the years. No waiting in lines, no overbearing crowds, and distinct attention to detail. We bring it and then some. We playfully call this experience "Adventure therapy” as we are ready to offer support to challenge yourself to try something you’ve always wanted to do.

Amazing day for the whole family!

5.00Our family of four had an amazing time on the Road to Hana tour! Giuliano was our tour guide and he was wonderful at keeping both my 14 year old and 8 year old son engaged and entertained. Not to mention my own limitations with a broken elbow. Giuliano helped us see turtles, a nearly private black sand beach, waterfalls and more! My older son especially enjoyed doing a banana bread comparison among vendors and my younger son loved getting to skip rocks & investigate the tide pools at the various stops along the way. Definitely money well spent and a memorable day for all!
Fantastic journey

5.00Nicole was an excellent guide. Even though we were just a few days after the terrible rains, she made sure we saw so many things. I can’t count the amazing views, let alone the turtles, trees, other plants and birds, and wonderful roadside stops. Definitely a must, especially if you are staying in a resort on the west side!
Exceptional company!

5.00Dana and the Magic of Maui Experience are simply the best! We came to Hawaii for the first time during a Kona Low, a very intense rainfall. We've been disappointed by so many closures and cancelations. While our Road to Hana tour was canceled due to closure, Dana and her team were so positive and helpful! She was able to suggest several interesting alternatives and helped us save the otherwise disappointing day. While the weather was beyond her control, we were offered a full refund. We are thrilled Maui is getting much needed train, and we are looking forward to returning in a drier season! We will absolutely book with the Magic of Maui Experience again!
Best Experience in Maui!

5.00My husband and I got to experience the Magic of Maui tour for one of our honeymoon activities while here and we agree that it’s been our favorite of the entire trip! We highly enjoyed our whole day trip in a private vehicle that was stocked with drinks, snacks and other items. Our guide, Danielle, was extremely knowledgeable about the stops along the way to Hāna and even the ones that many tourists do not know. She did an amazing job tailoring our day to what we wanted to do and was a wealth of information! We loved getting to stop at the black sand beaches, waterfalls and pit stops along the way. Even in rainy weather, Danielle made the trip so memorable for us! We would absolutely rebook with Magic of Maui.
highly recommend !

5.00We booked a private tour for my husband and I. Cheyenne was our driver. She shared many interesting facts along the way and took us to spots we surely would have missed without her expertise. Do not miss the Ride to Hana and book a private tour. Cheyenne stopped along the way at local vendors where we were able to purchase local goodies to take home. We enjoyed lunch at Hana Farms Road side stand…the pizza and salads were delicious. This was surely a day we will not forget. Many thanks Cheyenne!
Priceless experience worth every cent

5.00Magic of Maui tour was the most priceless experience I have ever had. Owner Dana took all care to listen to our needs and make sure we were well looked after. Danielle our driver was amazing and made our day so special. We wanted to spread our pets ashes somewhere but our cruise line said we couldn't bring them so I reached out to Dana and she said absolutely it would be our honor to receive them so we mailed them the week before. Our entire day as drove through all those beautiful sites we talked about our pets and laughed and joked all while knowing at the end of the road we would be sad but happy to leave them behind. Danielle took us to great cafes and we also stopped and ate amazing local foods along the road including poi mochi, fresh coconut, local made brittle and the very best pizza of my life from Hanna Fresh! We hugged the mamma rainbow tree, patted the local cats, hiked the bamboo forest, saw sooooo many waterfalls and so many turtles. When it came time to set our fur babies free we found the perfect spot and were greeted by an army of cats and given one of our ashes was Duke the cat we knew this was the perfect place for him to rest. Then we hiked down to the black sand and found a cave for Bootsie and Joey to be set free as the waves came in and took them out. Danielle had brought rose leaves and she scattered them on the ground and played her sound bowl while we said a little prayer and said goodbye. We then ended the day swimming in a waterfall we had to ourselves. Danielle took incredible photos all day and boy they were amazing. Such special memories. We laughed, we cried, we lived, we loved and we left having made a friend for life and having reveled in the beauty and spiritual vibrance of this stunning island. Magic of Maui made sure this nervous passenger handled those curves without a single second of anxiety. Absolutely worth the money for a priceless experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - Ajay, Kai, Boostie, Joey and Duke. Mahalo.
Messy, wet and rainy day, but oh so fun!

5.00We had a wonderful time with Spencer! It was an incredibly rainy day, but Spencer kept things energetic and positive! He was so excited about the gushing waterfalls it was hard not to be excited as well. Of course we wish we could have done more along the way however it cleared up just in time for us to play at the black sand beach. Our 2 boys chatted his ear off and learned some new fun facts about Maui and sea turtles. We all experienced many firsts on this trip (including Spencer!) and know for sure it will be one we won’t ever forget!
A Fabulous Day on the Road To Hana

5.00The road to Hana is spectacular and made all the better by our guide, Journee. Journee made sure that we saw and experienced everything during our full day tour including many facts and stories to lend an historical perspective. During the day we saw dozens of waterfalls and hiked about 15 minutes to get close enough to one to take a swim in the water. We saw dozens of turtles on the beach and walked through a forest of amazing “painted” trees. And we ate! We had fresh banana bread, homemade chocolate and some great Huli Huli chicken. Overall, one of my favorite experiences ever
Great and relaxing trip

5.00We embarked on an unforgettable, full-day adventure along the Road to Hana with our guide and it exceeded all expectations. We’re thrilled we opted for this intimate, personalized tour rather than navigating it ourselves or joining a large bus excursion. If available, request Jackie; she’s incredibly personable, deeply knowledgeable about Maui’s history, flora, and hidden gems, and made the experience feel truly special. What sets this tour apart is the flexibility to customize your itinerary based on your interests. Craving more hikes and off-the-grid thrills? Jackie fearlessly led us to lesser-known spots, turning the day into a personalized escapade. Just be sure to pack appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear for any rugged activities - everything else, from snacks to towels, is thoughtfully provided. Along the iconic winding route, we stopped at breathtaking scenic viewpoints, explored charming local shops, and savored authentic Hawaiian eats at roadside gems. The comfortable vehicle and Jackie’s expert handling of the hairpin turns allowed us to relax and soak in the stunning landscapes without a worry. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour company for an authentic Road to Hana experience - it’s a must-do for any Maui visitor!
